Process for producing typewritten texts from dictation

The invention relates to a method for producing typewriters Texts after dictation, each in a series of separate recording tracks on a first recording medium recorded on a dictation machine »

Diting systems of the previously known type have the disadvantage that due to a lack of flexibility they only allow time-consuming changes in the transcript when revising to have made.

The object of the invention is therefore to use sentences and paragraphs of a dictation in order to be able to change their order as required, with insertions and corrections can also be recorded when revising a dictation transcript.

According to the invention this object is achieved in that the Representation of a preferred order in which the recorded recording tracks are to be reproduced, is stored that the written recording tracks

in the preferred order under the control of the stored Representation of the preferred order read out that the dictation corresponds to the playback from the first Record carrier is written down by on a second recording medium that records the dictation accordingly characterizing coded signals are recorded and that a representation of that recording sequence is stored in which the transcription from each recording track of the first recording medium to the second recording medium is done.

In the first work phase, the collected material, the is to be typed, dictated using a sentence-oriented dictation system (SODS), the individual sentences in so-called Sectors of sentences can be stored on a magnetic sleeve. Systems of this type are described elsewhere. Using such a system it is provided that the sentences are each recorded in individual recording tracks on the Cuff, but these sentences can be addressed in any desired order regardless on the order in which they were originally stored on the magnetic sleeve, with the help of it a memory in which the preferred sentence order is stored. The same principles apply accordingly Modification also for saving and rearranging paragraphs.

As already described elsewhere, the preferred order stored in the memory of an SODS is the Sentences are read out and placed on a special area of a magnetic sleeve for later use by the typewriter operator saved in order to recognize the correct order when typing the information.

After completing the dictation together with the recording of the preferred order, the dictator gives the cuff to the typewriter, so that the second

work phase can be carried out »Here, the cuff is first entered into a playback device, and then the Information is loaded from the cuff into the memory of the playback device in the original order, in order to then type out a concept according to the preferred order.

In detail, the machine operator listens to the Sound information automatically generated by the playback device is output according to the preferred order. The typewriter operator prepares a concept by uses a typewriter magnetic card unit.

At the end of each screech machine line, the typewriter moves automatically to the right margin and types in an identification number to specify the sentences that appear in this line. As the typewriter continues, a magnet card becomes labeled by digitally marking the information actually typed on the concept ο Systems of this general nature have recording capabilities and reproducing the information on a magnetic card and are described elsewhere o

According to the invention, however, the preferred order is in digital form on the Magnetkare prior to their removal from deir Playback device saved The preferred order shows the typed document as it was typed? she will used in the form of a starting point for each sentence as it appears on the typed document.

After the second work phase, the machine operator hands over the typed document and the original cuff to the dictator for revision purposes from ο the dictator puts the cuff into his SODS device »The keyboard of this one SODS unit shows paragraph and sentence numbers that appear on the typed document »The * dictator is watching this

typed document and when he made a simple correction he presses the relevant record number and a correction button, so that a corresponding bit is then entered into the SODS memory in a special memory location.

The dictator can dictate new sentences to the cuff, however, it again marks a specific location in memory. Sentences and paragraphs can be used during these revisions rearranged in the same way as provided for the original dictation. After the revision is finished, the new preferred order of information recorded again on the magnetic sleeve, then the magnetic sleeve of the typewriter operator hand back.

During the last work phase, the typewriter lays down turn the magnetic sleeve into your playback device, with the preferred sequence information then at the same time is loaded from the cuff into the associated memory.

The originally recorded magnetic card is in the 1 station input into the typewriter magnetic card unit, with the two recording tracks on the magnetic card containing the original preferred order is also entered into memory. At this point there is a significant Process step instead, namely by transferring information from the magnetic card under control of the preferred sequence, as it is read out by the magnetic sleeve, is played back and is now entered into the memory.

A new magnetic card is then placed on the 2 station of the typewriter unit entered. If the special characters entered in the memory are detected, the machine stops the writing, the typewriter inspects the correction returned by the dictator and then makes the necessary ones Amendments. If, in addition, a rearrangement of the sentences

le 971 007 309826/1099

is required, the typewriter magnetic card unit stops their writing, in which case a display tube will display the number of the particular card that is in the card processing unit must be entered to get the correct out of order information to obtain. The machine then points to the next one Cards used by the typewriter operator should to continue with the information creation for the new card at the 2 station.

After finishing typing the second typed document, the may have the final shape under certain circumstances, the machine operator hands the cuff to the dictator with the new preferred order stored therein - in order to enable the document text to be revised again, if necessary.

Further advantages and features of the invention emerge from the following description of exemplary embodiments the drawings listed below and from the claims.

recorded by appropriate actuation of the device 10. The device 10 consists of a memory 10a and a keyboard 10b, which are assigned to a sentence-oriented dictation system (SODS). The result of the dictation process is a discussed one Cuff or discussed cuffs, each of which is preferred in appropriately assigned recording tracks Contains order in each digital code representation, which corresponds to the order in which the sentences of the typewriter operator be demonstrated.

Of the 11 tracks, one is provided for special use, i.e. to mark every point where typewriter operation to make an improvement or insert an insert. End the cuff meeting in of the SODS unit 10, the dictator hands over the cuff to the typewriter operator in order to obtain a first raw copy of the document to get written.

According to FIG. 2, the typewriter operator now takes the cuff 1 handed over by the dictator and clamps it in the SODS playback device 2 a. As soon as the discussed cuff is clamped in the SODS playback device 2, the preferred one becomes Order of playback of the recorded sentences as indicated by the digit code numbers on the 10 special recording tracks the cuff is marked, entered in a memory 3 for the preferred order, as it has already been done on others Position has been proposed. The typewriter operator then hears the sentences of the dictation in the when the pedal 5 is pressed preferred order via headphones 6 and types sheet 7 in the desired sentence order.

The writing operation itself is carried out by means of a two-station magnetic card record-reproducer 8 carried out and the sets are automatically removed in the preferred order, The device 8 can, as described in British patent number 1197 845, record and reproduce texts.

From this patent specification it goes further that at the same time with typewriting of the text in the form of coded signals on a magnetic card in the form of correspondingly coded digital signals is recorded. The text signals are recorded along special recording tracks on the magnetic card, each recording track recording a typewriter line can. In response to line end signals, the Recording from one recording track to the other, so that for each line end signal the playback device is on a new recording track is set to pick up the signals corresponding to a new typewriter line.

According to the present arrangement, the typewriter operator types the dictation listened to by cuff 1, which is also to be recorded on magnetic card 9 at the same time. A "End of sentence" push button lets the typewriter automatically print a period, perform a spacing operation, and also capitalize the first letter of the cause the following sentence.

Control means are also provided so that at the end of typing a typewriter line when typewriter operation performs a carriage return, the typewriter makes a tab jump to the right margin and thereby automatically prints out a set identification number or ■ numbers and then executes the carriage return to the left margin while simultaneously advancing the lines to the next line to be able to write. Likewise, at the end of each paragraph, the typewriter automatically prints a period, whereby one is twice Carriage return carried out. As well as a tab jump will when the first sentence of the following paragraph are indented target. Every time the typist writes a sentence is the place of the beginning of the sentence in the memory 3 for the preferred Order entered. In this way, a written Auf drawing of the places at the beginning of each sentence.

le 971 007 309826/1099

The preferred order memory 3 has a plurality of memory sectors, the number of which is the number of recording tracks on the cuff 1 corresponds. In each memory sector, the sentence and paragraph number of a corresponding one Sentence recording trace stored on the cuff.

There is also in each memory sector for the respective set a digital code representation of the recording track on the Magnetic card and a character number is stored which is representative of the beginning of the respective sentence that is on the document 7 is written out. If the document 7 is typed by the typewriter operator, the sound is reproduced each sentence from the cuff 1 automatically with a sentence as written on the typewriter and on a magnetic card 9 entered, correlated, the memory 3 for the preferred order storing the order in which the transcription of every record track is recorded on the magnetic card.

Ends the machine operator before typing a document the magnetic card 9 is ejected, then the beginning of each sentence on the magnetic card is written in sequence, namely in two assigned tracks in part 11 of the magnetic card 9. When all sentence start positions are completed, then the magnetic card is ejected. Of course, more than one card may be required. After all sound signals one present cuff 1 have been rewritten, the cuff is automatically deleted, and the typed order as it is recorded on the magnetic card or cards is rewritten in 10 recording tracks on a cuff la. The cuff la then becomes the. SODS playback device 2 removed and the dictator with the typed document 7 for revision returned. The magnetic card or cards 9 are retained by the typewriter operator.

In the next phase of work as indicated by the block diagram

^LE971OO? 309826/1099

is shown in Fig. 3, the typed document 7 is through the Dictator revised. For this purpose, the dictator puts the cuff la with the typed sentence order as it is in the 10 sequential recording tracks is recorded into the SODS dictation machine 10, into the memory 10a of which the 10 bits of each sentence start position are entered. Next takes he looks at the document 7 with the sentence numbers on it, with the keyboard 10b displaying the paragraph and sentence numbers provides in the paragraphs of the document before him,

The dictator uses a revision pen to make simple corrections on the typed document 7. Each Whenever such a correction is made, it merely designates the sentence in which to make such a correction is with the help of the keyboard 10b by pressing a correction button at the same time. Here then a first, this Set assigned bits entered into the memory 10a. If a new sentence is to be inserted into the typed document 7, then the dictator determines the position on the keyboard where the new sentence is to be inserted and then dictates this new sentence. This measure also results in a first bit which is stored in memory 10a. Likewise let indicate the paragraphs to be inserted.

Sentences and paragraphs can be sorted in the same way by appropriately rearranging the code numbers stored in memory 10a rearrange how dictated sentences could have been rearranged during the initial dictation without further instructions to the typewriter operator. In the event of a rearrangement, the first recording track is not marked because during the typewriter does not need to pay attention to the typewriter to rewrite the document, unless a rearrangement between two separate magnetic cards is to be made will.

The diter is of course free to add marginal notes on the

^M971007 303826/1099

Attach document 7 or dictate instructions. When the revision is finished, the dictator sends the cuff la together with the corrected typed document 7a back to the typewriter operator, the contents of the memory 10a then being stored on the cuff la.

The corrected cuff la is first inserted into the SODS playback device 2 clamped. If the corrected cuff la is put into operation in the playback device 2, then the 11 Recording tracks are again loaded into the memory 3 for the preferred recording. Then the typewriter lays down the first recorded magnetic card into the 1-station 8a of the 2-station magnetic card processing machine 8. The 1 station 8a automatically reads the information on the two sequential recording tracks, in order to enter them in the positions of the memory 3 assigned to them for the preferred order. Then the typewriter sets a new sheet of paper in the typewriter 8b and starts the Write operation. The playback order of the first magnetic card is done under the control of the memory 3 for the preferred order that receives its information from the correction cuff la. In any case, this will make the Typewriter 8b causes the document to be typed in the order in which it was dictated by the dictator during revision or editing of the document has been specified.

At the same time that the typewriter 8b the document in the order specified by the dictator, a new magnetic card is recorded in a 2-recording station 8c of the 2-station magnetic card unit 8. When writing out in the preferred order, the magnetic card prepared in 1-Station 8a is automatically stopped, when an 11th bit associated with any set is found. The typewriter then looks at immediately a control desk 2a on the SODS player 2 and determines the sentence and paragraph where the machine stopped

has been. The machine operator then looks at the document 7a and makes the correction as shown or indicated on the revised document 7a.

If an insertion is to be made, a control lamp lights up 15 to indicate that the machine operator should depress the pedal 6, in order to insert it directly into the typewriter and to be able to key in the new magnetic card 14.

In the case of rearrangements where no insertion is to be made, the typewriter does not normally stop unless the information to be written is not fixed on the magnetic card that is being read. In this case the machine stops and a digital display tube 17 displays the card to be entered next for reading in the magnetic card unit 8a by the machine operator in order to obtain the out-of-order information. after the
Out of order information has been fed back to the typewriter, the magnetic card unit 8a stops again, wherein
it shows with the help of the digital display tube 17 which
Card is to be entered into the machine next.

The thus rewritten document is sent back to the dictator together with the erased cuff, with a new preferred order of the sentences recorded in the 10 tracks, as used for the purposes of this cuff
is present. Ground the newly created magnetic cards
in turn retained by the typewriter for possible future purposes.

In this way, correction and revision can be carried out over several cycles, until finally that
final document is created.
